- Fixed WR slots: 391.7 points, 41 occupied starts and 42 opportunities. Drafted-player totals may include FLEX; the slot comparison does not.
- Other managers' median points per occupied WR start: 11.01; this manager: 9.55. The season slot result includes later acquisitions, not only the named draft picks.
- Trey McBride: round 3, pick 25; 13 original-draft-spell starts / 188.2 points. All-own starts, including later reacquisitions: 13 / 188.2 points.
- Tetairoa McMillan: round 5, pick 49; 13 original-draft-spell starts / 147.1 points. All-own starts, including later reacquisitions: 13 / 147.1 points.
- Brian Thomas: round 1, pick 12; 8 original-draft-spell starts / 70.6 points. All-own starts, including later reacquisitions: 9 / 80.8 points.
- TE fixed slots, 2025 weeks 1-14: 200.1 points / 14 occupied starts in 14 opportunities; stored rate 14.29, other-11 manager median 9.44. Rates in the body round the underlying points/start ratio. Full-season slots include acquisitions and exclude FLEX.
- WR fixed slots, 2025 weeks 1-14: 391.7 points / 41 occupied starts in 42 opportunities; stored rate 9.55, other-11 manager median 11.01. Rates in the body round the underlying points/start ratio. Full-season slots include acquisitions and exclude FLEX.
- Drafted-player contributions can include FLEX and stop at first departure unless explicitly described as all-own; they are not the numerator for fixed-position output. Allocation and realized scoring do not establish causes or decision quality.
- Rationale: Brian Thomas later returned, bringing his all-own total to 80.8 points in nine starts; 70.6 refers only to the original draft spell. WR had 41 occupied starts in 42 opportunities.
- 5 weekly roster arrays have no exact within-window replay state; snapshot timing is unresolved.
